INFOTAINMENT FOR THE PEOPLE OF EARTH SINCE 2006

If you've ever had a one-night stand, then "Knocked Up" is your worst nightmare come true. Seth Rogan plays Ben Stone, a young guy who's best friend is his bong. He lives with his stoner friends, who like to party just as hard as he does. None of them have jobs, although they are trying to launch a Mr.Skin-like Website. Slobby Ben and one of his buds are out at a bar when he runs into Alison, played by Katherine Heigl. Katherine is a huge success. She's beautiful, has a great job and is basically everything that Ben is not. Despite being complete opposites, the two get drunk and have a one-night stand. The next morning, Alison realizes what a pig Ben is and decides never to see him again. That's until she realizes that she is pregnant with his child.

"Knocked Up" follows Ben and Alison as they prepare for the baby and try to make their "relationship" work. Their conflicting personalities don't help matters and neither does Alison's overbearing sister who's stuck in a relationship with a man she should have never married.

"Knocked Up" is written and directed by Judd Apatow, who also wrote "The 40-Year-Old Virgin." Once again, he proves himself a brilliant comedy writer in this movie, which has plenty of laughs, mostly at the expense of Ben's stoner friends. There were a few downfalls. "Knocked Up" runs about 20 minutes too long. Ben also takes a rather pointless trip to Las Vegas, which should have been cut out of the movie. Despite it's few flaws, The Daily Edition does recommend "Knocked Up." It's one of those funny beginning summer flicks, like "American Pie" that everyone's going to be talking about for years to come.
